Installing Storage Manager for Windows
When the SmartRAID VI controllers are properly recognized by
Windows, run SETUP.EXE from the DPT Windows 95/98 diskette and
follow the on-screen prompts to install the Storage Manager software.
The installation program detects which version of Windows you are using
and installs the appropriate Storage Manager files for your operating
system.
If you will use remote communications, be sure to select the
Communication Server install option.
If you are using Windows NT 4.0, do the following after Storage Manager
is installed to ensure optimum performance:
1.
Start Storage Manager and double click on the controller icon to
display the Host Bus Adapter Info window.
2.
Select Configure to display the Configure Host Bus Adapter
window.
3.
Select Caching. When the HBA Caching Configuration dialog
appears, change the settings from Mandatory to Advisory.
4.
Select OK to exit the dialog and save the changes.
5.
Reboot the host system to enable the new settings.
NOTE
If you reset the NVRAM on the controller, the changes to your
cache settings return to the factory default.
